West Bengal to Include Syama Prasad Mookerjee in Curriculum and Commemorate 125th Birth Anniversary
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced that the state's education curriculum will include chapters on freedom fighter Syama Prasad Mookerjee from the 2027 academic year, covering school to university levels. This initiative is part of a year-long program marking Mookerjee's 125th birth anniversary, which also includes a 125-foot statue and museum at Kolkata's Eco Park, renovation of his ancestral home, and publication of commemorative books. A special committee approved these projects to highlight Mookerjee's life, ideals, and contributions.
